Richard of DoomedMoviethon<\/a> has inspired me to look up, research, and obsess over movies from my birth year.\u00a0 That there link up there will take you to his posts on his own birth-year adventure.\u00a0 I’m not quite as intrepid as Richard;\u00a0 I don’t plan on seeking out and watching too many that I haven’t already seen.\u00a0 But I have made a couple of best of lists (in no real order):<\/p>\n

List #1:\u00a0 the Hey that’s awesome!\u00a0 I didn’t know that came out in my birth year, list.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Life of Brian<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. Mad Max<\/a><\/li>\n
  3. Zombie<\/a> – this is awesome because I’ve seen this, and I’ve seen it again and again, thanks to Richard.<\/li>\n
  4. All That Jazz<\/a><\/li>\n
  5. Lupin the Third:\u00a0 The Castle of Cagliostro<\/a><\/li>\n
  6. Love at First Bite<\/a><\/li>\n
  7. Amar Akbar Anthony<\/a>\u00a0 – kind of like…wow, I’ve actually seen this…<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    List #2:\u00a0 this actually looks like of interesting.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Wise Blood<\/a> – I read this, I did not know it had a movie–I bet it’s painful.<\/li>\n
    2. The Return of Superman<\/a> – check this tag line:\u00a0 “Born out of a Christmas ornaments-filled heaven, Turkish Superman fights the mob in order to save the day!”<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      And finally, the best of the worst movie posters.<\/p>\n

      \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a>\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

      I know it looks horribly paltry and all, but I scrolled through lists and lists of French, German, and Japanese pictures, lists and lists of sisters sexually discovering everything, lists and lists and lists and lists.\u00a0 And no, Aliens<\/span> and Apocalypse Now<\/span> don’t make my lists, because I’ve never really enjoyed them.\u00a0 There you have it:\u00a0 the 1979 of cinema according to the infant LeEtta.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
